Abstract
The study aims to produce empirical evidence of validity and reliability of the Creative Thinking Task for Children (CTTC) developed to evaluate creative thinking skills. The study group consists of 668 participants (aged 11-14) who are attending 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grades. The data were obtained with personal information form and CTTC. CTTC is scored between 0-3 and consists of specific tasks. Expert opinions, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to evaluate the validity of the CTTC, and the Cronbach Alpha Internal Consistency Coefficient was used to determine its reliability. Result of the analysis was determined by the model which consists of originality, fluency, elaboration, and divergent thinking sub-dimensions and 11 items. CTTC has a structure that fits very well. Results of the analysis revealed that, the CTTC provides valid and reliable results.
